00:01:14
Speaker
And sitting across from me, someone who is trying to teach a baboon how to play brass instruments, even though they don't have a chin. Do you need a chin for that? Huh? Hi, I'm Sean. I don't know how music things work. Alright, um, so it turns out we don't know how to do a chin. Wait, baboons don't have chins?
00:01:37
Speaker
They don't have chins and we don't know how to do recaps because the last episode we actually didn't do a recap I had to put that in in post. So while Sean put it in post a But this time we are actually going to do a recap and I want all of you guys to rule me a d4 To see who is going to do the recap?
Recap and Dice Rolling
00:01:59
Speaker
I got a three
00:02:01
Speaker
Oh, boy, I got a four. I don't know if that means I don't have to do it or I do have to do it. I am. I'm tied with Evelyn. I also have a three. Oh, instead of that, we'll be a D20. So we have more reasons. I don't know why I didn't do that till the beginning. Yeah. Oh, boy. All right. Closest number gets it. Nineteen. Maybe wasting that 20, dude. I got a 19. OK, Evelyn.
00:02:28
Speaker
Oh, so I'm doing the recap. What did you know? What did you get? No. What did you get? I got a 10. Oh, who got the 18? I got a 19. 19 19 is closest. I got 15. So Sean is doing the recap. Dang. I don't know. I don't remember episode four.
Sibling Battle and Sick Hikaru
00:02:49
Speaker
Okay, so episode four. We went back to school to meet with Mr. Dr. Sumo. He was there and Mr. Farnsworth was there. He's a Kangaskhan. He wears slippers. He's a cool guy. There are no male Kangaskans normally, but he is one, so that's a special case.
00:03:09
Speaker
One second. Is that a thing? Yes. Kangaskhan is all female, by the way. I didn't know that. Also, I don't know if he's wearing slippers, but sure, he's wearing slippers. He might have been, actually. I don't know. I think he was. Because you said he's like Professor Fonsworth, so I was expecting he would be the same. Okay. Right. He's a male. Kangaskhan wearing slippers. Does he have a baby?
00:03:34
Speaker
uh i'm gonna say no i didn't mention it before so probably not i can just imagine him hopping around the school anyway so we met with him did we i think this is like the first thing we did right yeah yeah so we met we met with those guys we talked some stuff sammy got up and mr dr simoes face
00:03:58
Speaker
And they're like, here's some train tickets. And then when you just fast forwarded to the graduation ceremony, which happened. And that was the episode. Yeah, it just happened. You're going to gloss over the whole Barbenheimer thing? Yeah, pretty much. All right. It didn't happen. I feel like we kind of forgot to mention everything that happened before the
00:04:23
Speaker
Now what happened in episode four well actually what did happen before that cuz Bruce I was fought his sister. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, Bruce fought his sister because Bruce's sister is a delirium Ponyta That now knows some fire type moves because of training with a family of syndical and type lotion. I
00:04:48
Speaker
Hikaru ended up getting sick from a spoiled milk berry.
00:04:54
Speaker
And for Sammy you kind of woke up. Well, actually I've kind of surprised you didn't mention that. Yeah, Sammy woke up got accused of detention and Basically headed off. I you know what? I remember being accused of detention, but I thought that was in like episode two I thought it was like when I got home, but tech. Oh, yeah, I got home Yeah, that was right before the meeting
00:05:20
Speaker
Yeah, I thought it was sooner because when I re-listened to episode three, I was like, oh, I didn't get accused of detention. Maybe that wasn't this episode. Also, this actually reminds me of something I wanted to say.
Graduation and Family Invitation
00:05:30
Speaker
I think it was like episode two or something a while back. I actually I gave you a B for your grade of your recap and it was supposed to be very mean of you. Hey, it's supposed to be a joke. It absolutely did not come off that way. It just sounded very condescending. So that was sufficient, I guess.
00:05:50
Speaker
Yeah, I didn't mean for it to come off that way. So this time, I'm going to give you an F. Because as everybody knows, F stands for fantastic. Except for those 14 S. That was a bad request. You gave me an F for that one. F stands for fantastic. F stands for fun. Fun, fantastic, failure. You know, the basics. No. All right. I think with that, we're ready to hop on in, aren't we? I like hopping. Yeah, I like hop. Do that.
00:06:20
Speaker
I don't like Hop. He's more scrumpled. That's not a Pokemon move. That's a trainer. That's a Galarian howl. Yeah, Hop's just Galarian howl. Let's cut on in, sir. Let's Galarian howl on in. Alright, so let's hop on in. Okay, I believe where we last left off. You guys finished with the graduation. Mrs. Barbenheimer announced Z99, which was the Eren that was slightly beaten up, which, uh...
00:06:49
Speaker
Took his graduation diploma, it just says diploma on it at Comic Sans. He sat back down and Mrs. Barbenheimer just kind of ran off stage out of boredom. So everyone has been dismissed. And the parents weren't there. Oh yeah, the parents weren't there. Speak up. Are we still in the school? I thought we did this already. No, we left right at the end of graduation.
00:07:14
Speaker
Okay. I still think Bruce's mom would have been there anyways. Wow, funny you mentioned that. Very sort of cold. Funny you mentioned that, because standing behind you is your mom. Oh boy. Your mom looks at you and is like, uh, actually before I say anything, Bruce, did you or did you not tell your mom that you were going to graduate from this day?
00:07:38
Speaker
I absolutely would have because I would have been complaining about having to go to it for like a month and would have said what day it was. Sure enough. So your mom walks up to you and says, hi honey, I'm sorry I wasn't in the stands or anything. It looked like nobody was there.
00:07:59
Speaker
I didn't want to be the weird one and just be the only one in the stand. So she pulls out a pair of binoculars. I was back there. She points towards the trees watching you. So I saw everything. It was really weird. And I was hoping she was in a hot air balloon or something. No, she's peeking out. I don't know if hot air balloons exist. They might. I don't know. I don't know yet.
00:08:27
Speaker
Right. Your mom's like, uh, now that we've got everything, uh, why don't you all come back to my place? We can have a little bit of a celebration. I got some plan for you guys. Okay. Cool.
00:08:38
Speaker
Thanks for being here. Walter takes off one of his shades and he's like, yeah, that's that sounds cool. He was wearing shades. Yeah, he was wearing two pairs of shades, remember? So you have all been invited to I I don't remember. Does Bruce live in a mansion or just a regular house? Or is it like a manor? Because you do have a butler. It's like it's a one floor manor sized building.
00:09:07
Speaker
I think. Interesting. Because, you know, Glary and Pony Todd don't do stairs very well. Yeah, that's true. So... Sammy doesn't say anything to Mrs. Blainebeck. He just gives her a nice thumbs up and walks along with them. Okay, what about Hikaru? Is Hikaru doing anything? I guess I'll follow along. Go to the party if there is one. Okay. I tell my parents where I'm going. I'm already in trouble. I thought I got attention. Oh, that's right. I think you're in detention.
00:09:37
Speaker
Or no, that was three days ago. That was when you had to meet. Yeah, that was three days ago. That was what the meeting was. Well, actually, well, hold on. We never actually we did. We did figure it out. But just imagine if you actually stood in that clearing for three days straight and all your parents were. I thought we only skipped a day. Oh, that was three days. I'm pretty sure. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I think so, too.
00:10:01
Speaker
You guys arrive at the Flameback residence. And Mr. Alfred? Yes, Alfred. Man, I can't remember any characters today. Mr. Alfred takes, uh, takes you guys inside. He opens the door for you. After you, they're inside and says...
Gift Giving Ceremony
00:10:19
Speaker
Yeah, we go inside, I guess. Okay. I don't want to speak for the others, but I'm guessing we're going inside. Yep, we'll go inside. Sure, sure.
00:10:30
Speaker
are we all going who's here uh everyone's there so it's uh everyone yeah it's everyone including walter walter's three of us plus walter yep okay so mr alfred is that mr alfred or is it just alfred it's just it's just alfred he's going by mr today for some reason
00:10:51
Speaker
Let's listen, Alfred, to the not friends of the family. Wow, insult. Only Walter, basically. Just Walter.
00:11:02
Speaker
Walter chimes up. Hi, Walt. He slaps him down. No, it's Mr. Alfred. It's a Mr. Alfred. So Alfred takes you guys inside and he's like, I've got some, I gotta get my British accent in working. I got some bocca McRiddles on the, well, griddle if you're hungry. And he gestures towards the kitchen where there are eight bocca McRiddles on the griddle, griddling
00:11:31
Speaker
Really hard. I didn't want me to describe Boca McGriddles. These McGriddles are griddling so griddle. Wow, yummy. I love griddle McGriddles. What? Boca McGriddles. I don't even know what you're trying to reference with this. I don't even know anymore.
00:12:01
Speaker
Bruce's mom, Mrs. Flambek, Mrs. Flambek, whatever her name is, comes out with a bunch of parcels for you guys, and she hands two to Bruce, one to Hikara, one to Walter, and one to Sammy.
00:12:20
Speaker
Oh, well, it's your graduation ceremony. I thought, you know, we had a bunch a bit of extra fun. Sorry. Sorry. She gave us our whole ceremony in a box.
00:12:36
Speaker
No. No, that's not why I'm laughing. You'll probably see. Wait a minute. I had some extra funds laying around, and I figured I'd get you guys something nice for you guys' graduation. As a present. So, yeah, here. And she gestures towards the gifts. Who's opening their spirit? Thank you so much, Mrs. Flameback. You're far too kind. Oh, of course. I always try to give back when I can. I never get out much, so that's the least I can do. Thanks, man.
00:13:06
Speaker
No, you didn't have to get me anything, but I appreciate it. Thanks, this is Bruce's mom's. Yeah, of course. All right, you guys go ahead and open it. Walter just is smiling. He's not actually saying anything. Did he get a gift? He said you gave two to Bruce. Yes, there's two of Bruce, one to everyone else. I'll get to Walter last. Okay.
00:13:28
Speaker
Alright, so yeah. He just opens up the gifts. Okay, so Bruce is opening his gift. You have a sweet chocolate. I actually don't remember what that is because I don't have my excel sheet pulled up, so... Okay, I can tell you what it does real quick. Sweet chocolate increases a random stat by one. Oh, roll a d6. Holy crap, right, really? Yep. Oh jeez, okay.
00:13:58
Speaker
Uh, is that like your human stats or your attributes? Uh, the base er, the uh, actual battle stats. Oh crap. I think. Roll a d6 and there's only five human stats. Okay. And there's six other stats. Gotcha. Okay. Uh, you can either eat that now or wait till later. I'll wait till later to eat it. Okay. Uh, are you opening your second one or are you guys going in turn?
00:14:28
Speaker
Yeah, I'll let them open their stuff. Okay, so Evelyn, you open yours and this is the thing I misspelled. You find a yelly gummy. A yelly gummy? Does it yell? It's a yellow gummy. It's a yellow gummy. You eat it and for the next two minutes all you can do is yell.
00:14:52
Speaker
Yeah, we gummy. It's spelled with an I too, so it's a jelly gummy. Oh my gosh, I love yellow gummies. They're so delicious and tart and sweet and electrifying. I don't remember how gummies work, Mia's the DM saying. I don't remember if the color being the same type of towards is more effective or less effective.
00:15:20
Speaker
It's more effective. I was trying to transition out of that. I couldn't remember if it was the most effective or least effective because that could have been an insult. It was the least effective. It's the most effective. I think it gives 10 IQ points. Oh wow, really? These are a bit more of a power than I thought. Which is really funny for the next one.
00:15:51
Speaker
So, uh, I take it Sammy's opening his next? I'm gonna roll to open mine. Okay. This is why I was laughing earlier. You open- Wait, let me roll. I wanna roll. Okay, roll, roll. I got a 15, okay. Yeah, I got a 15. You open it just fine. You open the paper and you have a rock. Hey, oh, I got a rock, guys. It's just a rock.
00:16:21
Speaker
Is it a gravel rock? No, it's just a regular rock. You can't even do damage with it. Oh, no. Thanks, Mrs. Cleanback. I've got a... I always wanted a pet rock. Now it's my little buddy. I'm just gonna keep it on me. I'm gonna call it... Oh, I forgot to close it. Jennifer. Hey, Jennifer. She runs back into her room real quick and comes out with two googly eyes and some glue. Heck yeah.
00:16:53
Speaker
now you can send out your pet rock into battle you can now add one jennifer to your inventory i don't have an inventory okay so you can just set it on the table now walter goes ahead and opens his and this is the broken item i was talking about he opens his and he gets a power band so i guess i don't also get a power band probably then walter you got a belt
00:17:22
Speaker
You got a sweet chocolate. I got a second item too. Oh yeah, you got a second item too. And a second gift to open at least. Yeah, so it was either supposed to be a power band or a selection of a bunch of berries because I figure Ms. Flameback wouldn't know exactly what Walter would want because Walter is not around Bruce very often.
00:17:47
Speaker
So he had a 10% chance to get a power band or a 90% chance to get like one of a bunch of different berries. Dang. She's just like, he's a fighting type. He'll make use of this. So Bruce is holding the last parcel. Yep. He'll open it now. Okay, so you open this and it is a shimmering blue orb. It is perfectly smooth and it seems to be glistening.
00:18:17
Speaker
Like, almost like a marble, but a little bit bigger. Hmm. Do you want me to roll something to see if I know what this is? Or just ask my mom what it is? Roll Arcana, which is... Smart, I believe? I believe so, I don't know. How can we use that one yet? Arcana is... It is smart. Okay, cool. Yep, you're right. Yep.
00:18:44
Speaker
That's a 9 plus 1, so 10. Okay, mixed success. It feels like it is heavier than it should be.
00:18:53
Speaker
Like, it's weighty. Like, it's made of a very weighty material. It's not like a plastic orb or something like that. Not that plastic exists in this universe. Hey man, what is this? This is the family jewels. We pass it down from generation to generation when everyone turns 18. Actually, what was Bruce's birthday? Was that recently?
00:19:17
Speaker
No? I don't think so. Yeah, I forgot to give it to you on your birthday, so I'm giving it to you here now. Wow. Wow. Okay. Dang. Oh, and that reminds me. She rushes once again back into her room and comes out with four bags. These are for you guys. I heard you guys needed some more inventory space, whatever that is. So I figured I'd give you guys this.
00:19:44
Speaker
and she gives you two bags which is the equivalent of uh one guild's worth of inventory space or one guild rank's worth of inventory space since we don't have uh it's unlikely you guys will be able to find a guild in a long time so we've got up so we've got up to 15 spots then let me see uh i gotta find this i believe it's 10 are you doing just up to 10 yeah just up to 10
00:20:12
Speaker
Each of us has 10? Yes, each of you now has unlocked a total of 10 inventory slots. What's the inventory? Okay. It's in your character, is it? Yes. Is that item number? Yes, the items. And then there's the one through 10 and then 11 through 15 says unlock it normally. Gotcha, okay. Yeah. Is that where I put the... Is that where I put the Jennifer?
00:20:41
Speaker
So what should I put for these family jewels? Uh, whatever you want to name it. Blue orb, family jewels, things, I don't know. Alright, I'm gonna put my yellow gummy in my bag. Well, you don't have a yellow gummy. It's a yelly gummy. A yelly gummy? It's a yellow gummy, come on now.
00:21:08
Speaker
Otherwise, it's not gonna come up with anything in the item effect. I know, my Jennifer doesn't have any effects. No, your Jennifer gives you... Actually, hold on. It gives you plus one to companionship. That's not a stat, but there you go. You know, one less friendly. I mean, one less lonely. I'm not Cuban. No, I never... I didn't say you were miserable. That just means you're less lonely than you were before. But just by a little bit.
00:21:37
Speaker
You don't have a rock you can talk to, if you get lonely. Oh my gosh, you know I'm gonna abuse that. As you guys finish unwrapping all your gifts, you have your bags, which I didn't describe. These bags are like basic brown backpacks. They can hold up to 10 items, they've got slots on the outside, we've got stuff on the inside, and... Yeah, they're just basic bags. Nothing real special
Chaotic McRiddle Feast
00:22:01
Speaker
about them. Does it have a pouch for a water bottle?
00:22:03
Speaker
Yes, it has a pouch for a water bottle. So you have a water bottle pouch that's made of mesh. It's got a little elastic strap that you can tighten it down with. And it's good for carrying one water bottle. Which I don't think any of you can have. We used to have a fresh water. Hold on.
00:22:26
Speaker
Oh, do you? Wait, how do those fresh waters work? Because they're stored in plastic bottles, but plastic doesn't exist in this universe. I asked you why we wouldn't have plastic. Actually, wouldn't we? Well, they have max elixirs in this universe. Hmm, true. Yeah, and gameplay advances are a thing, so... Yeah, I guess there's plastic in this universe, though. Yeah, they've got Game Boy advances in this universe.
00:22:48
Speaker
Yup, the most advanced company to go with the journey. So, Alfred, just as you guys over to the kitchen, he's like, uh, the bocca mcgriddles are almost ready if you would like to take a seat, citizens, madams. I sit down. Of course, sir. Take a seat. Thank you, Mr. Dr. Alfred. As you guys sit down, you guys have served many bocca mcgriddles, most of which are consumed by Sammy.
00:23:13
Speaker
And let me get a DA see I'm gonna roll see I'm gonna eat watch you over How many did you roll
00:23:46
Speaker
Just like that part in Spongebob when Patrick sucks up all the cookies off the plate like a vacuum, Sammy just inhales the book of McRiddles. Or as everyone called them, the griddle McRiddles. Alright, so I'm gonna roll D4 for how many griddle McRiddles I eat. Roll a D2, there's only two left.
00:23:51
Speaker
Oh, there it goes. Oh, there it goes. Oh, there it goes. Oh, there it goes. Oh, there it goes.
00:24:08
Speaker
yeah okay final knowing sammy's antics grabs one as soon as they get on the table before sammy can get at them all right so no as soon as she gave me the bag i just walked in the kitchen and started eating
00:24:24
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, before Alfred even said anything, Sammy's already at the table eating. He's already halfway through. You guys come in. I was like, oh, oh, hello. So, uh, Alfred's like running as fast as he can to the kitchen table, which is pretty fast for a much less food. I'm going, dude.
00:24:44
Speaker
I guess I have some more Book of the Critters to cook up, and he pulls some out of the freezer. And, uh, what would be perception? Uh, anyone. Or everyone. Whoever wants world perception. For all the perception you said? Yes. I rolled an eight. Perception's beauty, right? Yes. Yeah, I don't see it. I got a five.
00:25:04
Speaker
See, that's beauty, so add to your beauty modifier. I got a 15 plus two. All right, Bruce knows this because he lives here. The freezer is full of nothing but Boca McRiddles. That's all they eat, man. They just eat Boca McRiddles and Boca Burgers. That's it. You don't have any pineapple berries? Alfred opens up the cupboards, and you see more Boca McRiddles just obsolete itself. And he's like scraping around. I rolled a 19. Can I also eat ones in the freezer?
00:25:35
Speaker
Uh, you want to eat a frozen burger? Yeah, you know what, sure. Yeah, sure. Uh, I want you to roll the crunch. But Sammy's hungry, Sammy's hungry. I want to just eat anything, my dude. All right, roll. Okay, so these- Why don't we have Bruce grill it and then- Actually, no, I was gonna say because it was raw meat, but it's not. It's a Boca burger. It's vegan. Yeah. And if it's frozen, it's usually precooked. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Bruce- Usually, unless it's like a frozen beef patty.
00:26:04
Speaker
yeah that's kind of what i was imagining but i forgot they were vegan so Bruce just takes a bunch of them puts them on the table and uses ember on them yeah that's cool uh Romy oh wait that looks so much better than these frozen ones Bruce
00:26:24
Speaker
Uh, what's a good skill for that? Roll performance. Do you want me to do roll accuracy for Ember? Uh, yeah, sure. Roll accuracy and then roll performance, which is cute, if you hit. Okay. That's a 16 on the Ember for hitting. Alright, that hit. So, come on, cute performance here, buddy.
00:26:46
Speaker
Oh, that's a 10 minus one. OK, so you so you are able to somewhat cook this burger, but it's very crunchy because it's like it's still frozen in the middle. So fair enough. I was just I mean, I just used an ember on it. It's not like it was a flamethrower or anything. You could have worked the house down. Especially what's the what's the table made of wood? Oh, yeah.
00:27:14
Speaker
I put him on one of the oven safe plates, and then used Ember on them. Yeah, if you guys, if you would have ruled the map one, you probably would have set the table on fire. Oh yeah. So, Walter used... After all of this has happened, Walter finally makes it to the table and sits down, and sees that all the bulk of the McRibbles are gone.
00:27:36
Speaker
And Walter, not Walter, uh, Alfred's like, what? I guess I'll make some more. And he just grabbed an arm load of them. After seeing what Sammy did to the Boca burgers, he just grabbed an arm load out of the freezer and starts cooking more. Walter, what took you so long? I ate all the burgers.
00:27:56
Speaker
For what it's worth, I rolled a two earlier. He covered with the other two. It doesn't matter. I think, who was it? Bruce snaxed up one of the burgers. There was only one left. Yeah. Yeah, all right. So you guys have fun at this party. And as the day goes by, you feel something sort of flickering in your pocket.
Urgent Train Departure
00:28:25
Speaker
We have pockets pockets. I don't know. I'm trying to figure out a way to do this. Uh sure you guys have pockets I asked you earlier for anyone's wearing clothes and you said no We're not wearing maybe we're dressed up for graduation. No, but you guys are not wearing your robes and robes on her pocket first of all
00:28:51
Speaker
Alright, first of all, we're not wearing clothes, and second of all, none of the clothes I own have pockets. There you go, you have, okay, there's pockets in your bag. Thank you. There we go. Although Savvy has a munchlax, it does canonically have, like, pouches of fur that they store food in. Oh shoot, that's right, I do, don't I? I was just gonna say that I'm usually sticky, so things just stick to me, but no, that makes more sense. Uh, I want Sean to roll just a flat T20 for long. Okay.
00:29:23
Speaker
17. Uh, as you're scratching your side, do you realize there's a, uh, like a weak old donut still sitting in your fur? Hey, a donut! Yum! Wait a minute, what size donut was that? How much experience does he get from this? No, it's not!
00:29:42
Speaker
I had Walter eat my favorite- Remember, in this universe, donuts give experience points. In the very beginning, in the very first episode, Walter ate two donuts. He didn't gain any experience. These are not special donuts. Dang. Big sad. Are any of you willing to take notice of the- I don't know how to say it. Alright, fine. Uh, Karu, roll me perception. I'm not sure, uh, Evelyn, sorry.
00:30:12
Speaker
Out of the corner of your eye, you are reminded and noticed your train ticket. Is that the fluttering, the tickets? Yeah, I didn't know how to introduce it. You are suddenly reminded that at 10pm your train leaves.
00:30:29
Speaker
Oh, crap! Uh, what time is it now? Tonight? Hold on, uh, I'm actually gonna roll for this. Yes, at night. Because I remember Sean saying it's the opposite of the cinema. It's, uh, it's cheaper to get a night ticket for the train than it is. You know, I'm gonna shut up. Alright, so I rolled an eight. Well, I can't speak, okay? I rolled an eight. It's like three in the afternoon. Oh, we got seven hours then. How long does it take to get to the train station?
00:31:00
Speaker
Uh, not seven hours. I don't know if I'm walking there, it might be. Okay, it's seven hours if we're going by Sammy's feet. He just ate like 12 corn McRiddles. I'm gonna say it takes like two hours for Sammy, even for Sammy to get there. Yeah, it's like on the outskirts of Gale Beach, I'm gonna say. There's a train station there. Actually, I gotta poke the map to make sure that's accurate. Um... That's not a great place to put a train station. It's in the middle of fun. It's on the ocean. It's in the ocean.
00:31:30
Speaker
it's in the ocean all right we'll take it okay let's see i gotta actually find a map here it is except got him on the trains and stuff there's gale beach while you're doing this bruce is gonna go over to the pantry and check what berries we've got uh there's absolutely a train in gale beach um i'm not we move the should we move the train ticket from our album to our bags
00:31:58
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, you guys can do that. You can shift your items around however you want. Oh, I've got the address note as my held item. That's right, because I was the one who took that. Oh, right, the address. I have the address of where we're going. House, time, street. Here's a test. Do you remember what the address is? Because I've got it written down right here. Nope. Do you want to try and get a good crack at it?
00:32:33
Speaker
Um... Evelyn already gave you the street. What? That is the 90% of it. What was... Oh! Oh, wait! Oh, man! What was the street again? House Ton Street. Right. Yeah, it was a... I'm gonna be surprised if you get this.
00:32:56
Speaker
There's either 123 Houston Street or 999 Houston Street. Not even close. It is 49 Houston, Volkeberg, Flama State, Outcast Planet, Universe, Galaxy, Everything, 43567. 43567. That's right, that was the full address, yeah. Yup. It's on the planet, in the galaxy, in the universe. In everything. In everything.
00:33:24
Speaker
They got really specific when they were giving us the address. Well, it's actually very broad. So there's your address, and your train leaves in seven hours. You guys have a little bit of time to do whatever you guys need to do. Whether that's getting ready for the trip, getting on the train... Hey, guys, I'm gonna do a backflip! Okay, uh, real performance.
00:33:51
Speaker
wait shouldn't that be roll cool or tough roll athletics would be i think tough yeah let me let me uh double check that uh athletics or acrobatics would be cool yeah acrobatics is more accurate uh real cool okay i rolled a 17 all right you powered by the absolute utter sheer power of brittle mcgriddles you do a perfect back flick even though you weigh like 30 pounds more
00:34:19
Speaker
And you accomplished absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm trying to kill time. We have seven hours. All right, for the next... We're just going to go over to a pantry and see what berries we've got in there. If you guys want to, you guys can just, like in Skyrim, sit by the fire and wait for five hours. Okay, was nobody impressed by my backflip? I have a bunch like doing a backflip. Was anyone? Also, we're leaving the city. I should go say bye to my family.
00:34:46
Speaker
Oh, wait. They don't even know you're leaving, do they? No. They didn't even know we were graduating today. Correct. Oh, sh- Uh, there is a hole in my story here. Uh, oops. Mrs. Blaineback just sends letters to everyone.
00:35:03
Speaker
I mean, you could absolutely do that. Hey, I definitely didn't kidnap your children, but I'm sending them to a faraway place on the other side. Wait, hang on. You could probably retcon it to be Mr. Dr. Sumo or Mr. Farnsworth sending a letter, being like, yo, here's the thing. Yeah. And it ends up in the spam box. Oh, yeah. We could have just told them three days ago when we were home. All three of you, roll a d20. If the average comes above 10 or 11 or higher, sorry,
00:35:33
Speaker
Then I will retcon it. Otherwise you guys will have to deal with the consequences of my bad DMing. I don't want to have to go back home 15 15 17 17 7 Okay. Yeah that averages did something above. All right, so we sit back in time And we're back at the meeting with mr. Farnsworth mr. Dr. Sumo and all four of you guys and as
00:36:00
Speaker
Mr. Farnsworth hands you the tickets. He's like, oh, I will send notes to your, uh, I will send notes to your parents and notifying them that we are definitely not kidnapping you, but we are sending you to a faraway place on the other side of the continent. Everything should be fine. And we just sit back to modern times and that is what happened. Good. How was that? Nice. That is absolutely not Mr. Farnsworth's voice, but it's canon now.
00:36:28
Speaker
I think we're surprised with three different voices now. Probably. So you guys can either try and do something or you guys can just fast forward to the times until you guys have to leave. We should fast forward to the train station.
00:36:44
Speaker
There are times the charm though, wait. Alright, Bruce wants to go to the pantry and see what berries we've got. Alright, so let's do that first.
Berries and Farewells
00:36:57
Speaker
So we go to the pantry and I'm going to roll for...
00:37:01
Speaker
Okay, yeah, you guys have pretty much every berry and it's the one place where this it's not absolutely filled with Boca burgers It's a one place the one place. I mean you look over at the couch. It's covered in Boca burgers Okay, so what better what are you looking for? Berries. Oh, yeah. Well, what is
00:37:27
Speaker
Hey, Sami Hikaru, we're gonna be taking a long trip here. So do you want to take a berry here? We've got... Sure. Oh yeah, I love berries. Pick any berry you want. You can take it. What berries do you have? Yeah, what berries do you have? We've got anything. We've got about every berry you can think of, I think. Yeah. I've rolled luck and I rolled an 18. So you guys basically have any berry you guys want, although there is only one silver sperry.
00:37:56
Speaker
Dang, I was gonna go for the citrus berry. I'll take an Oran berry and a Pecha berry. I'm gonna say each of you can take two berries. So you guys aren't like, absolutely just scanning the system. Yeah. Got it. An Oran and a Pecha. Okay, cool. Add that to your item. Drew, who's gonna take the citrus berry, for sure. He's there first. Okay. Let's see, I think I'll take the Oran berry and a Lum berry.
00:38:26
Speaker
Is that one of those stat berries? No, that's not in the system for some reason, but it's the one that cures any status condition. Yeah, I think it's a main series item. Dang, nevermind, I won't take that one. Is it not? Oh, because the heel seed replaces it in... Yeah. Alright, so what other berries does this do? There's the Oren berry.
00:38:52
Speaker
What? Yes. Yeah, the ore and berry. No. No, we do not want those. Are those the fake ore? And he'll take those out of the berry. Yeah, make sure you don't accidentally buy one from the market. Well, I'll note that down. Cherry, chest, ore, and pecha, raw citrus. Oh, you know, I got it. All right. I'll take an ore and berry and a chest-o-berry. All right. An ore and berry and a chest-o-berry.
00:39:22
Speaker
Alright, and with that you guys can mark those in your inventories and I take it that's everything you guys are doing. I'd still like to go and say goodbye to my family because I feel like it'd be rude for me to not do that. Okay. And I could also grab some items from home. You just have to make me do your mother's voice again, don't you? You just had to do it to me. Yes. Okay, we're splitting the party up again.
00:39:52
Speaker
No, let's just go together. Alright, are you guys all going together then? Yeah. Yeah, I guess Bruce will tag along to make sure that nobody is late for the train. Okay. So whose house are you going to first? Or are you guys only going to Hikaru's place? Okay, so I'm trying to map this out. Bruce lives the closest to the school, right?
00:40:15
Speaker
I have absolutely no idea, I never actually wrote it down, so whatever order you guys want to go with, it's not going to be too late for the train. Just for simplicity's sake. I was just thinking, if Bruce lived closest, and Hikaru's by the beach, Sammy might be in the middle. And as we know, the train is in the ocean, so Hikaru's closest to the train.
00:40:42
Speaker
Are we actually doing with that? There's an underwater station now. It's just off the coast. It's a big glass bubble that's just under the ocean. Ooh, we've got a subway. No, it's a subway. It is quite literally a subway. A subway submarine. So there's the difference between subways and subwoos. Got it.
00:41:11
Speaker
Hello everyone, I am Dakota, here to thank you for listening to our episode. Our show comes out every other week, Sunday morning. Go follow us on Instagram at pmdpathroomtime, and at Twitter at pmdpathroomtime, and our Discord where you can receive updates on the show and talk to us and give us ideas, such as the question of the episode submissions.
00:41:30
Speaker
Speaking of which, this week our submission comes in from Abyss the Umbreon, asking, will there be a live Q&A session at the end of arc 1, just like in our scratch? The answer to that is no, because we have the collection of the episode as a segment here in the midsection, there's not any real reason to have a Q&A stream. However, at the end of this series we are talking about possibly doing an after-show talk show, where all of us get together and talk about our thoughts on the show and the campaign so far.
00:41:55
Speaker
Details on that are not confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt since according to our current release schedule, that's probably not going to be for a few months in the future. With that out of the way though, let's thank the music producers for the music used in this episode. Thank you for Joy and Avenue and Castellia Sewers from Black 2 and White 2. Azalea Town and Blackthorn City theme from HeartGold until Silver.
00:42:33
Speaker
Okay, so if we cut to Hikaru's house... Wait, did you guys decide you were going to Hikaru's house? No, I thought we were... I thought we... I figured we'd go on board and go to Sami's place then Hikaru's, yeah.
00:42:47
Speaker
Okay, let's go to Sammy's. Okay, so we go to the pizzeria. Okay, so you we flash over to she car. Jesus, almost like he cars pizzeria. Same got a secret pizzeria. And it's in the afternoon. It's
00:43:09
Speaker
Your parents are cooking up a storm in the back, and you all show up once again. Please don't ask for ice cream. There's a sign in the front that says, please do not ask for ice cream. We don't know what it is. Now we're going to make this short, sweet and quick. All right. All right. Your parents notice you guys walking in, and your mother sticks her head out. And she's like, hi. You here to help with the pizzeria final? You guys have been gone forever. Yeah, party at four.
00:43:41
Speaker
Seriously? We're doing this again? Are you here to help or not? Ma, you know I do this every time I come home. Yeah, I know you do and it's really distracting me from my work. We have customers there and she points to the lobby where there's just one person. I'm gonna take Walter's shades and put them on. So you take off one of Walter's shades and put them on you.
00:44:06
Speaker
Well, you're gonna have to do that yourself, mama. We gotta go. We're going on a trip. Remember that note we gave you the other day? Yeah, that's tonight. We gotta go. Takes off shades. Oh, that's... Oh, that's right. Uh, Mr. Fardsworth told me you guys were being kidnapped or something? No, we're not being kidnapped. No! We have a trip. We got these cool training tickets. We gotta go. It's tonight. Okay, I mean, as long as you guys are safe, just don't... We have no adult supervision.
00:44:32
Speaker
Yeah, I know you guys don't know who felt supervision. Peter Reed's gonna suffer because of you, and we have no third hand. How are we supposed to figure out and document research on ice cream? Tell you what, I'll do some pizza fun with it. No, I'm sure you're gonna make ice cream real quick. And as you say that, uh, Mrs. Pepperoni's face just absolutely lights up and you actually, her eyes even open up. She's so surprised. Um...
00:45:01
Speaker
Yeah, make an ice cream that hard, actually. You know the secrets of ice cream? Please, please. She's on her knees at this point. Please, show me the ice cream. Show me the way. I must know the ways of the ice cream. This is the way. Do you know the way?
00:45:19
Speaker
Do you want me to actually go through how to make ice cream? Alright, how does Bruce think ice cream is made? Okay. Roll for performance. Yeah, actually, roll for performance, and based on how well you roll, that's how well you have to explain it. Oh boy, okay. Please roll a nat 1, this will be awesome.
00:45:43
Speaker
Okay, so you have to describe this in a way this one makes ice cream sound kind of disgusting and you're This is how you do it because you are so sure Okay, so
00:45:58
Speaker
we've got this ball here and it's like a plastic shell and inside that ball there's a smaller ball that's fixed in place and you put some rock salt in the outside ball and you put some like cream sugar whatever you want in the ice cream in the inner ball and then you just sort of shake it around a whole lot and eventually it turns into ice cream
00:46:25
Speaker
She heads out into the kitchen, and she does exactly that. She comes out with a sphere of plastic, with a sphere of plastic inside of it, with rocks of salt inside, and she just takes a bite out of it. And she's like, oh my god, what is this? Are you trying to poison me? You gotta take the ice cream out of the inner ball. You set this up ice cream-made, not that we weren't supposed to eat the machine.
00:46:55
Speaker
Exactly! Is that how you do it, Bruce? You don't get one of those squishy cups you put in the freezer? That was disgusting. Maybe you just shouldn't serve ice cream at this pizzeria. Alright, just get us some pizza. Okay, actually as you do that, she writes on a piece of paper and sticks it on the window. You can see it says, ice cream chef wants it. That's a good idea. Four slices to go, mama.
00:47:24
Speaker
Uh, fine. I mean, you guys are being kidnapped anyway, so it's, it's whatever. All right. Uh, four pizzas. I mean, you know what? Yeah, four pizzas. One for each person. I'll eat three of those. Oh, I know you will. And after some time, she comes out with what kind of pieces does Sammy like? What are the toppings?
00:47:55
Speaker
Oh, you said no toppings? I said what are the toppings? Oh, anything you can think of. Ice cream, 3DSes, a can of Coke, an entire PC. I'm just naming things that I see in my room. So you have an entire PC? Wait, no, that makes sense. It's just a bank of Game Boy Advance. Wait, you have cheese in your room?
00:48:17
Speaker
A cheese? Where did I say cheese? I said a 3DS. That was the first topping. You said cheese, 3DSes. Anyways. Ice cream was an option. You've got ice cream in your room. You've got ice cream in your room? Yeah. No, but that was on my mind. Yeah, we'll just take four cheeses. Four cheeses. Four cheese pizzas. Many cheeses. As many cheeses as you can put on that pizza, we want those cheeses. Gotcha. That's gonna be expensive. And as she goes back in the kitchen and she makes it up. We gotta pay for them?
00:48:48
Speaker
Uh, this pizza's not free, she says from the kitchen. She comes out and she's holding- Wait, guys, let's get outta here. I don't wanna pay for any pizzas, let's get the hell outta here. So as she walks out, you see she's holding four domes. They're not pizzas, they're just domes of cheese. And as she's walking out, you just dash out. You guys are outta there. Ugh. Alright.
00:49:16
Speaker
So whose house are we visiting next? Hikaru's. Okay. So, oh god, wait, why? So... I said I wanted to make that short. You kept going, so... I know, I was having fun. I am about to mean physical pain. Australian, remember? Oh yes, Australian.
00:49:42
Speaker
As you
Family Visits and Emotional Revelations
00:49:43
Speaker
guys head into the storefront of Hikaru's house, I guess. The doorbell dings, and we go in. Doorbell dings. Quinn, Quinn is making a ruckus in the aisle again, just like the first time we saw them, and she called whose mom is at the counter, and she says, Oh, hello, Hikaru. What can I do for you? Hey, yo, Quinn, you want to see me do a backflip? I did one earlier. No. Hi, I'm home.
00:50:12
Speaker
I know I said I stayed high already. Yeah, it's getting worse. All right, it's just a thing we do in my family. Um, so I'm gonna what is Oh, just have bad accents or say that you're home. Just announcing when you get home. Okay, okay. Should we should we do it too?
00:50:35
Speaker
no no you don't have no don't worry about it okay hello bud yeah uh i mean graduation ended like four hours ago where you guys been yeah we were there wait she knew about graduation oh right i mean uh no i don't know anything about graduation uh right so how about graduation tomorrow it's gonna be fun right
00:50:59
Speaker
Actually, I don't know how to explain it, but we're not gonna be here tomorrow. Uh, and is that to me it's fucked? Okay, why have I turned Transylvanian? You gotta get better at accents. I know! I'm on board. Hikaru says to her mother. I mean, like... Yeah, Hikaru says to her mother.
00:51:29
Speaker
So anyway, where are you guys going? Tonight, we're headed off to Volkenburg. Volkenburg? What are you doing out in Volkenburg? I think we're just investigating something that happened there. You think? How did you find Volkenburg if you don't even know where you're going there?
00:51:53
Speaker
Well, I think Bruce knows more about this. Bruce? Whatever we're doing. Hey, Bruce, can you tell Mrs. Hikaru's mom where we're going? Yeah, but tell me why you guys are running away before graduation even began. So graduation was actually today. Well, I thought it was graduation.
00:52:16
Speaker
That's a whole other thing. We don't really have too much time left. But they gave us a couple days ago, we had a meeting with Mr. Dr. Sumo and Mr. Farnsworth.
00:52:29
Speaker
And they gave us the address of someone in Balkenberg that could possibly tell us something about a strange thing that happened in the forest by the school. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a hassle, right? Yeah. I mean, she doesn't know that. Yes, it is an absol. It's Blair the Absol. It's written on your note.
00:52:53
Speaker
uh she's like so some teachers told you that something happens in the woods and you have to go investigate it for him so he's sending you away across the entire country and now you guys have to go solve it for him he is a full grown adult he could do this himself you got nothing to say for yourself or you're just running away now we're gonna be fine don't worry about it we're all grown up oh i know you guys will be fine
00:53:23
Speaker
We'll be fine, we've got, we've got items, we've got orange berries, we've got a patch of berries, I've got a gummy. Walter's got a- He's got this. Yeah, well I'm not worried about water, I'm worried about Hikaru. She's never been- well actually, have you been outside of Gale Beach before?
00:53:39
Speaker
uh yeah um as a kid as a kid my mom used to take me to um to surfing competitions in on briny breeze island so as you said that yeah except for those times i took you to suffer competitions on briny breeze island you've never been outside of gell beach how do you expect to survive out there yeah how do you expect to survive we're pokemon we don't die
00:54:08
Speaker
Sorry. Straight facts. We don't die. Jesus Christ. I was not expecting. We are Pokemon. We do not die.
00:54:32
Speaker
First of all, that is completely false. It's second of all, Volkenberg is a very dangerous city. Also, of course you're on a Pokemon. There's nothing other than Pokemon. I want to point out, that's the equivalent of saying, I'm a human, we don't die. But we at least know there's other things other than humans. Especially with the fact that Bruce's dad is kind of, you know...
00:55:05
Speaker
I'm sorry, Bruce's dad. I shouldn't have laughed at that, but yeah. I forgot about that. Sorry. Alright, I think I broke the fourth wall, not too much this time. Oh, that was a good hit. Hikaru, I think when we're out of here and we're on the train, we've got to have a little talk about Bruce's dad.
00:55:33
Speaker
Yeah, I don't think Bruce and Hikaru are close friends, are you? No. I don't think it would make sense for Hikaru to know that. Yeah, that is true, but I feel like it's kind of common knowledge that the Flameback Enterprises kind of lost its head of operations a few years, however many years back. Okay.
00:56:04
Speaker
Oh, even though they're not really friends, I feel like it's probably common knowledge. Uh, maybe. In the videos. I think it'll be fun if you have to, like, just, uh, explain it on the train right there. So, about my dad. That's gonna be funny, though. Ayo, bros, what time is it? Is it time to go to the train?
00:56:25
Speaker
It's getting there. Or, Walter Pine will be running close pretty soon. Yeah, Walter Pine is like, we gotta go visit my dad first. Chris, I didn't know you had no watch. I do? And he looks at his wrist and there is no watch.
00:56:43
Speaker
No, I said Bruce! Walter thought he was talking to me. Walter, I know you don't want to go home, but I'm sorry to confuse you. We just gotta go right now. We're gonna miss the train. But my dad's gonna get... Oh no, you don't know my dad. Oh no. No, we have to go to my dad first. Before we go, let me just go give my mom and Quinn a hug. Okay. Roll for a hug.
00:57:12
Speaker
Alright, and uh, so, uh, roll performance. Performance. Sorry, I like making people roll. Why am I not DM'ing this point? Because I'm not gonna come up with a story. Yep. What was it? 18? 18. Okay, yeah, you guys give them perfectly acceptable hugs. There's nothing. We're doing good performance rolls today, guys. Yeah, yep, a perfectly normal roll. So, uh, you guys, do you guys want to go with Walter to this house or not?
00:57:42
Speaker
We can skip that. Oh, yeah. OK. So we quickly cut over to Walter's house and Walter, Walter walks up to his house, but there's actually a note pinned on the front of the door and it reads, I received your note. You no longer live here. Walter, that's terrible. Yeah, Walter is OK, buddy.
00:58:12
Speaker
Wonkers. Now we gotta give him a hug.
00:58:20
Speaker
Alright, so actually, Walter, uh, surprisingly seems pretty collected on- Can you fight his dad? So, Walter actually is going to go around without saying anything. He's gonna climb up the wall and he's going to enter his bedroom, which before I say he does, I'm actually gonna roll acrobatics for him. Let's see, he rolled... Okay, he rolled an eight plus... plus... plus something. Give me this.
00:58:50
Speaker
Acrobatics is, is cool. And I do believe he is a pretty cool guy. That's why he has so many crazy glasses. Cool is three, so he got an 11. So he clambers up to his window of his bedroom and he manages to make it in, goes out, but while making a little bit of noise. And he, after some time, you see him jump out the window and he is holding his guitar.
00:59:20
Speaker
And he's like, yeah, I'd like to. Yeah. I think we should give him a hug, guys. I really want him to hug. Yeah, I don't know this place. Let's get out of here. I don't. And he actually walks up to the house and punches the door and he rolls. I'm going to roll strike. He rolled a 12. He splinters the door. Oh, when he comes back, we're all going to give him a hug because I feel really bad for him. Yeah.
00:59:51
Speaker
Walter comes back, tears streaming down his face. I'll give him a hug. Alright, roll performance. For everyone that's giving a hug, roll performance. Nine. Just, just Hikaru? Uh, six. Yeah. Okay. So you guys give him, uh, is anyone else giving him a hug? I think. I got a six. No.
01:00:16
Speaker
Okay, so the two of you give him mediumly adequate hugs as he is crying like he just lost his home. So sad, oh my gosh. And... Walter, you're gonna be okay. I don't know, it's... I've never been pretty attached to this place, it's fine. He wipes the tears away from his eyes. That guy in there, he's just ran towards the house. He's never been my father, he's...
01:00:44
Speaker
just I just hope my mom my mom can deal with him cuz I'm not gonna be here for her anymore and he starts crying again okay now she went on tour I don't know what she's gonna come back it'll probably be like a month or two yeah what did you say you were doing Eli
01:01:10
Speaker
Bruce wants to send an ember at the door. All right, do so. Roll accuracy and attack. Oh boy. This is probably a bad idea, but you know. You dedicated yourself to it now. Bruce is not happy with this situation. I'm not happy with the situation. Even if Sammy's not that close of friends with this guy, I feel so bad that Sammy now feels bad. Yeah. That's a nat one. Oh, oh no. Okay.
01:01:39
Speaker
you may have missed but i want you to roll attack uh roll the damage damage 1d8 plus six that's seven so 13 plus special attack and nine so 22 damage oh no oh boy you send out you send out this ember
01:02:09
Speaker
at the house and the house catches fire. Oh boy. And that is where we're going to end this episode. I've been Dakota, your PM, your DM, your GM. I've been Evelyn playing Hikaru. I've been Eli playing Bruce. The pyrotechnic. I've been Sean playing a startled and sad Sammy. Yeah. We'll see you guys next time. Hopefully on a half year note. Thank you for listening.
